Excellent app. Most valuable Nav Kit I have and always use. Low power, accurate and matches directly with OS mapping, compass and a superb back up in bad weather. Thanks!

Used this on previous Fenix model and delighted it is now available for my Fenix 7s. I have integrated it into my Walk and Hike activities positioned after the map, so if I need to refer to an Ordnance Survey map I have my grid reference to hand. For UK use, highly recommended (now I need a Swiss one!).

Forerunner 645 Music. Found it. Downloaded it. Walked outside and bingo a OS 8 digit grid reference. Exactly what I wanted. Brilliant. Good supplement to my OS 1:25000 maps. Thanks.

What a great data field. The reason I installed this rather than the Widget on my GPSMAP 66s is that I wanted to see lat/long and OS Grid in large type on one page. So I created an extra Trip Computer page with two large data fields, the first displays lat/long (which the 66s can do natively) and the other uses this data field to display OS Grid. Thank you.

Struggling with getting it downloaded onto my tactix Charlie. I’m sure it’s good once it’s used with a compatible device

I'm sorry you're having problems with my app. If you contact me directly with some more details I'll see if I can help. Don't forget it's a data field and after downloading it you'll need to customize the data screens of your chosen activity to add in the new data field.

Thank you to Simon for updating and improving this data field in response to my feedback. It works brilliantly giving up to a ten figure grid reference which is accurate to 1 metre. This makes navigation in the hills so much easier (although I never rely on electronic devices entirely and ALWAYS use a map)
